Center for Land Use Education

A Conceptual Guide to K-12 Land Use Environmental Education

The
Creative Land Use Series for Teachers and Educator Resources was
developed to provide a conceptual guide for K-12 formal and non-formal
educational institutions regarding land use environmental education.
CLUSTER offers educators a unique land use guide that provides the
conceptual framework, a suggested scope and sequence, and an extensive
resource guide. Until now there has been no complete, validated
conceptual framework, comprehensive resource for educators to utilize in
the development of land use curriculum materials. The conceptual guide
offers educators two great tools to quickly learn about land use and
also to begin incorporating land use topics and issues into their
existing curriculum.

The guide contains active hyperlinks to the referenced resources. Just click and go.

Even though this guide is based on Wisconsin Model Academic Standards,
the materials are available to educators locally, nationally, and
globally. The following examples were written by educators from across
the nation and can provide examples of how the CLUSTER concepts and
guide are applicable nationally. These examples were included to provide
educators a framework and ideas for developing lessons for their
individual communities and classrooms. Some of these lessons are
in-depth and others are simple. The lessons cover numerous subjects and
grade levels.
